do you draw a line between the use of drones at all and the use of drones in order to get to american citizens? >> look, i think the concern is less abouting a t actual kind of weapons used in the fact that lethal force is authorized in the first place and i would disagree with professor waxman on a couple of very key points. one is tat he's acepting the conclusion that there is a war without geographic limitations. we are admittedly in an armed conflict in a war in afghanistan but at the time of the killings, for example, that we are contesting in a lawsuit with center for constitutional rights of three american citizens in 2011, there was no armed conflict in yemen where the killings took place at the time that the killings happened. so what's truly troubling here is how broad the assertion of thority is and how hard the administration is fighting to prevent the courts from looking at the legality of the authority that it claims. >> ifill: we should mention that even though anwar al-awlaki's name is not mentioned in this memo, mr. waxman, there is an assumption that this is a kind o

he joins us now. tony, is this an unusually good year to go to the movies and does that make it an unusually hard year to pick winners? >> i think it was a good year. i mean, i think there's so many different kinds of movies that come out i eve year that it's sometimes hard to rank them. i think it was a very good year for mainstream movies that grown-ups might want to go see. there's been a knock against the hollywood studios for the last decade or so that they're mostly interested in teenagers, in action franchises for the international marketplace, in sequels and superheroes and so on. this year a lot of movies, "lincoln" life of pi" "les misables," "zero dark thirty" found audiences and as well as a lot of critical acclaim. so i think it is a strong year for the kind of movies that we were accustomed to seeing around oscar time in decades past but haven't been as thick on the ground recently. >> suarez: "around oscar time." might this part b what some critics see a the gaming of a calendar? the co
